Due to this popping up a lot ive created a basic guide on how to connect your 360 through ICS, hope its of use to someone. If ive made any errors or missed something, please feel free to inform me and ill update the post.
1) Connect your internet through your PC as normal
2) Using your RJ45 Ethernet cable (also known as a network cable, and is supplied with premium 360s) connect your 360 to your PC. This requires a space port on your PC. If you don’t have a spare port you need a Network Interface Card (NIC), which can be bought for just over £5.
3) Cables all connected properly? Good
4) Go to your Control Panel, which is located in your start menu
5) Select Network Connections
6) This window should show at least 2 connections. One will be labelled LAN, this will be your connection to your 360.
7) Your internet connection may show as one of 2 things. If you are using a wireless connection, then it will just show up under a wireless network
connection (as shown above). If it’s not wireless, then it should show up as a high speed internet connection.
8) Right click the connection and select Properties. You should now have a properties window open
9) Go to your advanced tab and you will have a section labelled Internet Connection Sharing.
10) You will have two boxes labalelled ‘Allow other computers to connect through this computers internet connection’ and the other laballed ‘Allow other users to control or disable the shared internet connection’. Both of these boxes need to be checked.
11) Select OK, your PC may hang, let it hang, it will sort itself out.
12) Your internet connection should now be shown as shared, and a little hand underneath the connection to indicate this
13) Turn on your 360
14) Live should connect. If it fails then run a connection test on your 360 and see where it fails.
